What You’ll Find At Universal Studios Hollywood Christmas

The bells are ringing, my turkey is cooking, and the snow is falling- it must be Christmas time again! So maybe not all that, exactly, but we’re getting real close over here to celebrating the holidays. While there probably isn’t a lot of snow happening in LA- there is some falling at the Universal Studios Hollywood Christmas celebrations! Here is the rundown of all the good things you can expect from a Universal Studios Hollywood Christmas visit.

Thanks, Universal Studios Hollywood, for partnering with me on this post!

I just got back from a trip to Hollywood where I was lucky enough to attend a red carpet premiere. A seriously cool experience. But before that happened, I made a stop at one of my favorite Southern California theme parks: Universal Studios Hollywood.

And of course, hot Butterbeer and holiday-themed food will satisfy everyone who visits the village of Hogsmeade.

Grinchmas Returns to Universal Studios Hollywood

There’s a Who-lebration of fun coming too!

Our family loves reading The Grinch every year, and this would be high on our list of experiences when visiting during the Universal Studios Hollywood Christmas season.

You can count on this to be a high energy musical celebration with Martha May Who-vier and the Who Dolls entertaining everyone under the Grinchmas tree. And don’t miss The Who-liday Singers?a hip boy-band ensemble? performing a cappella concerts featuring a mix of Christmas favorites and pop rock.

Grinchmas will take place weekends on December 1-2 and 8-9, and daily from December 14 through December 30, 2018.

Holiday Decorations Throughout the Park and Universal CityWalk

You gotta love a good theme and Universal Studios Hollywood does too!

Christmas decorations will be found all over the park, with the Minions and Super Silly Fun Land joining in the fun.

Universal CityWalk will have a 40-foot tall Christmas tree with 200,00 LED lights. Even better? They will be choreographed to the sounds of the season!

And you know Santa will make an appearance too! You can find him, special photo opps and the tree at 5 Towers plaza.

Be sure to sit a spell and watch the dancing water fountain in the heart of CityWalk splashing away to the holiday-themed music. It will all be lit up in red and green, too!

This transformation takes place on Friday, November 23 and will last through Tuesday, December 25, 2018.

How Much Does Universal Studios Hollywood Christmas Cost?

And because I know you need to know: the holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood is included in the price of theme park admission.

I LOVE that!

It kinda annoys me when parks add special touches- and special pricing (ahem!) during these kinds of events.

Loved spending the day between seasons at Universal Studios Hollywood with Ashley! Grab a friend and head to the park for the Christmas season – and then tell me all about it!
